Dear Reader,
As you can imagine, more people are reading The Jerusalem Post than ever before.
Nevertheless, traditional business models are no longer sustainable and high-quality publications,
like ours, are being forced to look for new ways to keep going. Unlike many other news organizations,
we have not put up a paywall. We want to keep our journalism open
and accessible and be able to keep providing you with news
and analyses from the frontlines of Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish World.

The
IDF action came after three Kassam rockets fired from the Gaza Strip
into southern Israel landed in the Eshkol Regional Council area on
Sunday close to midnight.

No injuries or damage were reported in the attacks.

The IDF approved a series of operations
aimed at widening the scope of its responses to ongoing Islamic Jihad
rocket attacks from Gaza on Sunday, as Egypt tried to mediate a second
cease-fire after the first attempt at a truce lasted only several hours.

The
planning for an intensified Israeli response, which was overseen by
Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz, took place in the command
and control room of the IDF’s Southern Command in Beersheba, and in Tel
Aviv.

As senior defense chiefs spent Sunday preparing for a
further escalation, they treated reports of a new cease-fire with
skepticism, after Gazans shattered a brief calm by attempting to fire a
rocket into Israel around 3 p.m.

The terrorist cell that prepared
the rocket for launch was struck successfully by an air force aircraft,
thwarting the attack. The cell reportedly belonged to the Democratic
Front for the Liberation of Palestine. One terrorist was killed and
another was seriously wounded.
